Hey everybody, Rob Marwick here. Welcome back to Tesla Daily. Today we've got a really

0:10.8

nice day for the stock to talk about best day in a few months actually. Of course, we've

0:14.0

got updates on Project Highland and Cybertruck, a new adopter of NACS and a few other items

0:19.3

as well. So looking at the stock, a nice bounce back for Tesla today after a challenging

0:23.8

past month as we have talked about. But actually the best day for Tesla since March, March 21,

0:28.7

so five months to the day with Tesla closing up 7.3% to $231.28, while the NASDAQ with

0:35.7

a nice day as well, up 1.6% today. So personally, I think this is largely just a bounce back,

0:41.5

but a couple of things that could have contributed to it today. One of which is Baird Equity

0:45.2

Research adding Tesla to their best ideals list, saying that price cuts and impact on margins

0:51.1

are going to drive the narrative for the second half of the year. But there's a lot of

0:54.0

other potential catalysts for the stock, including launch of Cybertruck, adoption of full self-driving,

0:59.0

and expansion into new markets. So nothing earth shattering, of course, in that analysis.

1:04.0

And I think you can add Project Highland potentially to that as well. Certainly, possibility

1:08.2

of continued strong Tesla energy results. Plenty of things, too, still look forward to,

1:12.4

but I do agree with the first part there that it is going to hinge on pricing and margins

1:16.7

and probably more so than anything else, just macro conditions and what the market does

1:21.0

during this period. Still, nice to have somebody put a reminder out that there are things

1:24.4

to look forward to.

1:25.9

The other news that came out really late on Friday, maybe helping a bit today, is that Honda

1:29.7

and Acura, Acura being the luxury brand of Honda, announced that they are also planning

1:34.7

to adopt an ACS or the North American charging standard. It's been a bit since we had the

1:38.9

flurry of automakers making these announcements, so a good reminder that these can still continue.
